In honor of Sydney J. Harris, whose "things I learned on my way to looking up other things" columns fascinated me in my childhood reading of the Detroit Free Press, here's something I stumbled upon while looking into another pleasant 1970s memory, the awesome theme song and opening to "AM America."

One Google search produced a page image from the Ocala Star-Banner showing an Associated Press story about how ABC was going to scrap the show and replace it with something called "Good Morning, America."

This was my first exposure to news.google.com/newspapers. Although too many of the results are pay-per-view articles from the ProQuest archive, it's pretty cool.
